Hello experts,
I got an error when I try to run bin/xadd command.

user014@ubuntu:/var/lib/boinc-server-test/boinctest$ sudo bin/xadd 
Processing <App#None upper_case> ...
Traceback (most recent call last):

    equalcommands.append("%s='%s'"%(key,dbconnection.escape_string(str(value))))
TypeError: must be impossible<bad format char>, not str

Please suggest me how can I solve this issue.

With thanks,

PS. Here is my project.xml:

<boinc>
 <app>
  <name>upper_case</name>
  <user_friendly_name>upperCASE</user_friendly_name>
 </app>
 <platform>
  <name>i686-pc-linux-gnu</name>
  <user_friendly_name>Linux/x86 32bit</user_friendly_name>
 </platform>
 <platform>
  <name>x86_64-pc-linux-gnu</name>
  <user_friendly_name>Linux/amd64 64bit</user_friendly_name>
 </platform>
</boinc>

I dont know if the error is related to the special characters in project.xml but try to change the lines without "/"

<user_friendly_name>Linux x86 32bit</user_friendly_name>

We are using also special characters at BU so the problem could be the python or mysql version which you have installed.
